| Abstract | OBJECTIVES: Prostate cancer has a variable clinical course, and molecular characterization has revealed striking mutational heterogeneity that may underlie the unpredictable clinical behavior of the disease. Advances in technology have resulted in a rapid expansion of our understanding of the genomic events responsible for the development and progression of prostate cancer. In this review, we discuss the genomic alterations underlying prostate cancer, and potential to utilize this knowledge for diagnostic and prognostic benefit. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We reviewed the relevant literature, with a focus on recent studies on somatic alterations in prostate cancer. RESULTS: Pathways known to affect tumorigenesis across a wide spectrum of tissues are dysregulated, such as the PI3K pathway, cell cycle control, and chromatin regulation. Lesions more specific to prostate cancer include alterations in androgen signaling, gene fusions of ETS transcription factors, and mutations in SPOP. Accumulating data suggests that prostate cancer can be subdivided based on a molecular profile of these genetic alterations. CONCLUSIONS: These findings raise the possibility that prostate cancer could transition from a poorly understood, heterogeneous disease with a variable clinical course to a collection of homogenous subtypes, identifiable by molecular criteria, associated with distinct risk profiles, and perhaps amenable to specific management strategies or targeted therapies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
